I was very pleased with the quality. Thanks to Cathy for constructive criticism and editing/proof reading. Thanks to Jeremy Hill for writing a lovely piece about my work.

The Cherries have weathered the initial storm of attention from the local youth and seemed to have settled in!

Take road to Jamestown from the town centre (Ross Road/Carley’s Bridge Road) and turn right at the first roundabout. You’ll see the “Cherries” on your right as you head into the estate. See the map below.

So, now its completed and installed, the young and the odd cat of the area have taken an interest in it.

The initial sanding was done by machine but most of it was done by hand. I had help from a number of people with the sanding process which I am very grateful for. So, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Andrew, Albert, Bojanna and Willy for all your sanding.

Albert hard at work.
